Solved: ie slow
Hi,
recently IE is painfully slow to open a page 45secs+ each page.
see for PC specs below.
Scaned for viruses, reloaded Lan (Realtec) drivers with no change.
A few days ago it would not connect to web, I rang my provider's help & very quickly he helped me to reset one of the network connections " Local Area Connection 2" & I think it worked OK as before, but now went so sloooooow.
Wife's Asus mobo but older version PC, wired to my Netgear router, is loading web pages real fast, like mine was a few days ago. ....thanx .........nick

Is this only IE that's slow? If so, consider resetting it to it's default configuration.

There is no such thing as IE9, IE8 is the latest.
